Prepare, Feed, Sustain - our Learning Community is the South West training centre for Bristol Baptist College's popular 'Prepare, Feed, Sustain' (PFS) course. This comprehensive 12-module course is open to all, no matter what your background or level of education. You can choose to attend either individual modules or all twelve. Subjects range from Pastoral Care and Worship Leading to Doing Theology and Reading & Using the Bible. More details here.

Day Conferences - we organise 'one-off' day conferences on subjects that those in our churches have expressed an interest in. We organise two or three each year and we'd be interested to hear from you if you have any ideas. Please get in contact with us.

Safeguarding Training - we run a rolling programme of Safeguarding Training through the year at various venues across the South West with trainers from thirtyone:eight. We enourage all church leaders and all those who work with children or vulnerable adults in their churches to attend. If you would like to host a Safeguarding Training Day in your area, please contact us.

Ministers' Conference - once a year we invite all the Minister's and their spouses from SWBA churches to a three-day conference. This is designed to be a time to meet up and encourage each other, relax and re-charge a little and to be stimulated by some teaching from our conference speaker. Dates, venues and other information about our next conference can be found here.

SWBA Mission Collective - this is an informal gathering of mission practitioners from across the South West from a range of different contexts; some from established churches and others from pioneering or church planting situations. We reflect with each other from our individual experiences and reading around a theme (such as 'hospitality'), share encouragements and challenges and eat together. If you're interested in finding out more, please contact Carl.

If you have ideas for any other ways we can resource you for the mission of God in your area, please do let us know...
